| NY wants to grant citizenship to illegals. | |
| 2014-06-18 | |
| [Kevin Jackson, the Blacksphere] While Congress drags its feet on immigration reform, New York state lawmakers are mulling an immigration bill of their own: It would grant state citizenship to some non-citizen immigrants, including undocumented residents, allowing them to vote and run for office. Under the "New York is Home" Act, non-citizen residents who have proof of identity and have lived and paid taxes in the state for three years, could apply for legal status that would let some qualify some for Medicaid coverage, professional licensing, tuition assistance, and driver's licenses, as well as state and local--but not federal--voting rights. The responsibilities of citizenship would also apply, including jury duty. If "New York is Home" why is everyone leaving and moving to the south ?

| #12 Seems mean to call someone a criminal just because they did something illegal like sneaking into the country. That's seriously judgemental. And I rather like the idea of amnesty for crimes if you can get away with it for 3 years. I see great promise for the fields of bank robbery and meth cooking. |

| #11 We should just put them on the bus and send them to DC and Chicago. |

| #10 unfortunately I think that rumor is already out JohnQC, without the need to camp out in front of the WH. (and it includes Free and Immediate Citizenship too...). |

| #9 Spread the rumor that the WH is giving out permanent visas, big screen TVs, Obama phones, and welfare benefits. All the illegals have to do is camp out in front of the WH for their benefits. There might be chaos but on the other hand, Obummer might just give them all these things in exchange for their Donk vote. |

| #8 OK. Instead of dumping all the illegals in Arizona fly them to NY instead. Cuomo can change diapers. |

| #7 I would encourage New York to secede from the United States. That way, no more Chucky Schumer in the Senate and Hildebeast would be ineligible to run for president. All the illegal immigrants in California, Arizona and Texas could then move to their new home in New York and everybody's happy! |

| #5 When the Depp South seceded from the Union, New York (the city) juggled with the idea of declaring itself independent. Howver by the time of the unprovoked Southern agression at Fort Sumter New York was already unionist. |

| #4 Caracas on the Hudson. Just for the record, NY was one of the last states to ratify the new Constitution and only did so at the end because they feared they'd be left out of commerce with the other states as the document prohibited taxing commerce between participating states. Been a long way from worrying about driving business out to importing ballot box stuffers, but they're there. |

| #3 States that want to assist the feds in enforcing immigration laws run into all kinds of trouble. Even SCOTUS seems to be against States assisting in enforcing immigration laws. States and so-called sanctuary cities that don't want to not enforce immigration law get the green light to break laws. There is something seriously wrong going on in the country. It would seem the States who can show damage/harm/loss from hordes of illegals flooding across the border would have standing in the courts to bring a lawsuit against the Federal government. |

| #2 So illegal immigration moves under the control of the bureaucracy. They'll need to hire more bureaucrats to do the investigations, verify the claims, fill out the forms, etc. More workers on the gubbamint payroll, more taxes to support them - it's a democrat's dream! |

| #1 The oikophobic establishment loves the increased rents and lower wages that subsidised immigration enables. |
